ASGE Masterclass: Capsule Quest – Journey Through the Future of GI Diagnostics (Virtual) | March 2025-Course Welcome and Introduction

Video Transcription

Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us for the ASGE Masterclass in Capsule Endoscopy. I'm Shabana Parsha, and my co-director for the Masterclass is Dr. Paul Ackerman.  So over the course of the day, we'll be taking you on a comprehensive journey. So we'll go through basics of capsule endoscopy, some real-world scenarios, latest innovations,  and we'll end with a lens into the future of capsule. So as you can see from the program, our speakers are experts in capsule and small bowel  endoscopy, and in fact, several of them have and continue to play an instrumental role both in pioneering and shaping this disruptive technology in GI.  So we look forward for the presentations and insights. We've built in ample time for Q&As and hope that you'll take away many practical tips  and lessons to incorporate into your own capsule practices. So with that, I'll turn it over to Dr. Ackerman. Thank you, Shabana.  Thank you very much, everyone, for attending here today, and most of all to our speakers today who put all this work into this today.  I come to this as the vice chair of the SIG Committee for Capsule Endoscopy and Endoscopy, and I bring a perspective as coming out of interventional endoscopy, and I really view  this whole area as the final frontier, the last frontier for our profession, for gastroenterology and endoscopy. So I really look forward to hearing everyone today.  We have actually a very exciting group of people. We have a really broad spectrum of people from senior physicians, mid-career and early  experts, and I look forward to hearing what they have to say today. So Shabana, if you want to, are we ready to kick it off? Thank you, Paul.  I think just a few more housekeeping issues, or housekeeping things. So these are the conflicts of interest.  So please help us improve future courses by completing the online evaluation on GILEAP. Instructions to access the presentations, complete the evaluation claim credits are  all in your course materials. And again, you can find a complete list of faculty, our COI disclosures, and on the accreditation statement.  So I think you can get a maximum of 6.5 AMA credits.
